SPIP335 Line 2 as BLF Key

[zirophyz]

Hi,

Wondering if the second Line key on a SoundPoint IP335 can be used as a BLF key to watch hints generated on the PBX.

I don't mean watching another extension state with Polycom's built-in Presence and Buddy Watch feature.

I attempted to configure this key using a similar method as for configuring the same thing on the IP450;

<attendant
    attendant.reg="1"
    attendant.resourceList.2.address="*280"
    attendant.resourceList.2.label="Night Switch"
    attendant.resourceList.2.type="normal"
/>

Nothing displays on the screen against Line 2.

I haven't been able to find anything definitive but are BLF keys configurable like this on the IP335, running firmware UCS4.0.8?  Or, does this phone only support added a speed dial or Watched Buddy on this key?

Thanks in advance,

Hello zirophyz,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

From the UC Software 4.0.1 Admin Guide page 394:

• These parameters are only supported on the SoundPoint IP 450, 550, 560, 650, and 670 phones.

Thanks.

Would i tbe possible to use the MWI as a BLF to monitor a hint?

The idea is monitoring a night switch which generates a hint to indicate enabled or disabled.

Hello zirophyz,

using an entry level phone like the SoundPoint IP335 limits the functionalities that are supported.

A MWI Functionality usually works via Subscribe and Notify so again the answer is no.

SImply purchase something like the SPIP450 or a current VVX300 or larger phone which supports BLF.
